Police Pursue Suspect in Dragon Con Assault

Authorities are looking for a man suspected of sexually assaulting a woman at Dragon Con this weekend in the downtown area of Atlanta.

The woman claimed that he introduced himself as “Gary from Marietta” before attacking her. He was wearing a blue button-up shirt and an FBI cap (as seen in photo, taken by the victim’s friend). Since the victim acted quickly after the assault, Police believe that the case will be closed sooner rather than later.

The incident occured between 3 and 5am in the Peachtree Center Mall.

Anyone with information are strongly encouraged to call Atlanta Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477). A reward of up to $2,000 is being offered in this case.
